I know you had trepidation about this post because it’s not your usual subject, but isn’t that what good blogging is about — talking about the pertinent (and the topic was germane to blogging), even if it seems like it’s off the beaten path? You don’t have to make it a month long theme, but doing a post like this every now and again will keep things real I think.

Okay, I’m kidding. I hope that humor traverses the written format.

Yeah, just like there were the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus’ day always willing to point a holy finger and look down their hypocritical noses at people they felt weren’t being “good” enough — such the same exist in the cyberworld today.

Thank the GOOD LORD above for showing me the evil of my own ways and when to examine the thumb pointing back at me and all the faults He continues to help me thru…

I really enjoyed reading this post, Lorelle and I completely agree with you on all counts. I’d also like to point out that although the internet is somewhat anonymous, there are still ways to find out who people are. So people really need to think about their reputations when they post as well. People’s views change over time, but their comments from three years ago will still be sitting on a blog somewhere.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t share their opinions, that would be boring. I just think that before people write anything negative they ought to ask themselves three questions:

1. Would I say this to this person if I was talking to them in person?
2. How would I react if someone said something like this to me?
3. If I read this six months (or a year, or five years) from now will I feel stupid and ashamed?

The internet creates a sense of distanct from one’s actions and some people find this an easy way to be mean to other people without having to be help accountable.

Thanks for the great read!

Sara

A lot has to do with brain washing of the ‘older/ wiser’ generation to younger generation…

I can think of a few reasons why this is caused.
Hatred passed on by previous generations.
uneducated
religions
fear of one race dominating
afraid of change
culture
and also that your (grand)kids wont look like you
